After losing two in a row – and scoring 13 runs in their past three games, which included two extra-inning tilts – Greenbrier’s offense struggled through the first three innings against Bulldogs starter Logan May.

However, once Duffie’s blast in the fourth inning sailed over the fence, the hits, walks and fielding errors piled up.

Though Duffie, Hunter Boose, Clint Hardy and Adam Grice all recorded run-scoring doubles, Harlem miscues played a major role in giving the Wolfpack golden opportunities as they eventually took control with a 9-1 lead. Harlem pitchers also walked five and hit two.

But the fielding was the biggest issue on one defining play.

In the fourth, two Wolfpack players were on base after walks and Duffie’s home run. Despite a ground out leading to the second out in the inning, a botched rundown scored two runs. Instead of getting what should have been an easy out at third, a low throw got away.

Even with Trey Price’s RBI single in the bottom of the inning and three consecutive RBI hits in the seventh by Aaron Moore, Gregg Thompson and Dalton Green, Harlem (11-3) couldn’t complete its comeback bid.
